Shen Junzhuo thought about his position again and again. There was no official envoy in the Privy Council. Although he held a deputy position, he exercised the official authority. He not only controlled the heavy defense of the capital, but also mobilized troops outside the capital. But even so
He said that there were some soldiers that he could not mobilize, the most obvious one being the Huben Camp.
As for some of the armaments in the capital, such as the Jinwu Guards, just take a look. They are all children of aristocratic families who came out to work as part-time officials. In terms of combat effectiveness, I am afraid they are not as good as a few random gangsters on the street.
. Only the Imperial Guards led by him can be equal to ten.
Because it was suddenly reported that Cheng Meiren was pregnant, some people were unable to sit still. The days to come were unlikely to be peaceful, and maybe one day there would be a thunderclap and a big commotion.
He had no intention of fighting for power. Even if he knew that he was the heir apparent that the old man originally wanted to appoint, he would not bother to compete with Shen Minghe for that title again. But sometimes, once people are involved, they have to fight even if they don't.
Otherwise, he will end up with no bones left. Now in his position, everyone can see that he is a close confidant of Emperor Zhao. Emperor Zhao and the Prime Minister have been at odds for a long time. He is the only person who dares to clearly stand by Emperor Zhao.
But he himself knew that Emperor Zhao didn't have a lot of money. If he was completely entrusted to him, he would probably die faster. Over the years, although there have been many discussions in the court that he and the Prime Minister's Palace are incompatible, both sides know in their hearts that they can get along with each other.
There is never a time to put the opponent to death.
Although Emperor Zhao didn't have much ability, he still held the orthodoxy, and there were many people who supported him in both the government and the public. These people naturally took him as their leader and listened to him in everything. Over time, he became his own force. The Prime Minister thought that
I'm also very afraid of making any moves.
Now it was time to really make a choice. Thinking about it, Shen Junzhuo felt a little disgusted. He would rather be a reclusive person, farm his own crops in some deep mountain, raise some chickens and ducks, and
It's better to do some physical work every day in a fish pond than to fight like this every day. Just thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that of course this kind of life still lacks a wife who can weave and spin. With a wife, the life will be considered complete.
Shu Yao didn't know what she was doing. Did she eat well today? How were the injuries on her body? Have she ever thought about him?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still and couldn't wait to go back to the mansion. He called Zhao Feiyong, gave a few instructions, and then he had someone drive the carriage, and the journey back to the Duke's mansion was smooth.
When he arrived at the mansion, he just hoped that the sky would darken soon so that he could go and see her. He had nothing to do for a while, and he was writing casually with a pen and paper when Xue Qihong suddenly burst in. His face was covered with sweat, and he didn't even bother to salute.
He said in a panic:
"General, something happened in Yongzhou!"
Shen Junzhuo's eyes narrowed, he put down the pen in his hand and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Xue Qihong wiped the sweat from his face and said:
"The people of Lake elected a new leader. A few days ago, the prefect Liu Zhicai and the governor Li Cunren led their troops to suppress the bandits. They did not want to fall into an ambush. There was no news for several days, and they did not know whether they were dead or alive. Yongzhou was already in chaos. There were rumors
He came out and said that Liu Zhizhou and Li Qishi were not doing their best, which led to collaboration with the enemy and the loss of 8,000 troops of the imperial court..."
Shen Junzhuo was shocked when he heard this. Li Cunren, the governor of Yongzhou, was Shu Yao's father! If this idea spread to the capital, they would definitely be punished. He walked out from behind the desk, thought for a moment, and said:
"Block the news and let this matter reach the capital later. Send a message to Bai Jin and immediately send additional troops to Yongzhou. Be sure to find Liu Zhizhou and Li Qishi!"
